Thanks everyone for the mostly civil and constructive discussion on
the issue. I am the person who had added the warning in the validator
(based on the bug report in bugzilla, itself based on what the CSS2
specification saidâ€¦ before it was replaced by CSS2.1), and as such, I
appreciate that the community of users took the time to look into the
issue and draw solid conclusions.
I'm patching the validator to remove this particular warning. The
patch should hopefully make its way to the next release. I will let
the W3C staff chime in when said release is scheduled.
Regards,
